FOMC Minutes in 2 days (Wednesday, 2:00 pm EST) and Friday’s Core PCE and GDP (8:30 am EST) are this week's primary volatility drivers. S&P Global PMIs follow Friday at 9:45 am EST. With Fed officials speaking daily, expect high sensitivity to growth metrics. Traders should hedge for USD strength if PCE exceeds forecasts, as sticky inflation may delay rate cuts. Monitor the 2-year yield for immediate reactions to the FOMC minutes.
